Week 13 results - I knew this would happen

What?They got beaten?Knocked out of the cup? Who by?Celtic?Inverness?What?Albion Rovers?The team sitting second bottom of League 2, Scotland’s lowest senior league?Hmm…

Well, Well, no’ sae well.

Well, Well, useless Well…*

Let’s get back to The
Grambler;How did the predictions go
this week?

What did I tell you?Worst predictions yet, I said.What happened?Every prediction completely and utterly
wrong.I do apologise to all you good
people out there in Gramblerland.There
is no excuse.The Grambler fmucked up
again.I blame the drink.Where did it all go wrong?Read on…

Notts County vs Brentford – Prediction: Home win – Naw

Result – NottsCounty 0 Brentford 1

Well,
would you believe it? Bottom of the league NottsCounty couldn’t beat 4th placed Brentford
Nylons.What a surprise (he exclaimed
with not a little sarcasm)!

Striker
Will Grigg was on target as high-flying Brentford overcame plucky – I love that
word - NottsCounty in League One. That’s League three in old money.

Tom Eaves marked his return
to Shrewsbury with a goal as they secured a win at lowly, not
plucky, Stevenage.

Francois Zoko tapped in to put the home side ahead before Adam Reach
lifted an equaliser over the keeper.

On-loan Bolton striker Eaves, who only signed for the Shrews on
Tuesday nodded home Paul Parry's cross to put Shrews 2 up.

Joe Jacobson then sealed the points before half time as he headed home
Darren Jones's cross.

Bristol Rovers vs Wimbledon – Prediction:
Draw – NAW!!

Result – Bristol Rovers 3 Wimbledon 0

Well, would you believe it,
22nd placed Bristol Rovers couldn’t beat 12th placed
Wim….Hang on.They not only didn’t draw
as predicted by The Grambler, but they actually won.Convincingly.

Bristol Rovers
continued their improvement in league form with a convincing victory over AFC
Wimbledon.

David Clarkson (Yay – ex-Motherwell, you see) put Rovers, who have lost
once in six games, ahead as he volleyed in from the corner of the box.

Tom Parkes doubled the lead with a powerful header after hesitation
from visiting keeper Ross Worner.

Wimbledon's Sammy Moore was sent off for a second yellow card before Matt
Harrold hammered home a penalty after Ellis Harrison was fouled.

Scunthorpe vs Torquay – Prediction: Draw – NAWWWW!!!

Result - Scunthorpe 3 Torquay 1

Well, would you believe
it?Torquay, now bottom of the table, couldn’t take a point from 4th (up
from 6th) placed Scunthorpe.

Scunthorpe caretaker manager Russ Wilcox sealed his third win in
three against struggling Torquay. That’s not three wins against Torquay; the
third of his wins was against Torquay.

Sam Winnall scored his ninth of the season early on when he turned on
the edge of the six-yard box to rifle home.

Torquay's Anthony O'Connor headed into his own net to double the Iron's
lead before Hakeeb Adelakun struck a third.

The visitors found it difficult to trouble the home side but did manage
a consolation when John Marquis' shot inched past goalkeeper Mrs. Slocombe,
whose pussy was almost crushed as she fell on top of it. [Look you know Mrs
Slocombe isn’t in goal and her pussy wasn’t harmed in any way.Just report the facts, please.Besides how many of our Chinese or Ukrainian
readers will even spot a reference to that hilarious British sitcom from the
1970s, Are You Being Served? – Ed].Sorry, the goalie’s name is Sam Slocombe and he hasn’t got a pussy.

The win sees Scunthorpe rise to fourth in the table, one point off top spot,
whilst Torquay now lie bottom of League Two.

I wonder if the squirrel-costumed Scunthorpe supporters had anything to do with the Seagulls' collapse.

There you have it fellow
gramblers; five predictions, five wrong.So, once again, the Bobby Moore Fund benefits by only the stake
money.But, as I said last week there is
nothing stopping you from making your own donation to the fund if you feel like
it. All you have to do is go to http://www.justgiving.com/Geraldine-Smith3
and make that donation.And, again as I
said last week, even if you don’t want to make a donation, it is worth going to
just to read the story of Stewart David Smith - the founder of the wonderful
blog that is The Grambler - who lost his life to bowel cancer on August the 29th
this year.You can also keep up to date
with all the fundraising activities by going to https://www.facebook.com/kickcancerfund
.

To finish, I did say that
week’s poor showing was but a blip.Well, you can get more than one blip, can’t you? The Grambler will pick those five correct
results one day.I’m sure of it.Don’t despair my little grambling chums.Keep the faith.It will happen. I keep telling myself that.I don’t believe myself, but I keep telling
myself, anyway.
